Saw III: Slicing Its Way Up the Box Office, but is it Any Good?

Jigsaw. Ring a bell? Well if you are a big fan of the recent ‘Saw’ horror films, then the word Jigsaw gets you all tingly inside. I recently went to see the latest edition of the annual horror film, and if you like blood and suspense and a guaranteed twisted ending, then ‘Saw III’ is the movie to see this weekend. ‘Saw III’ is the latest release from Twisted Pictures and is the third story of the man known as Jigsaw. Many would quickly label Jigsaw as a murderer, but is he really? 

Well, it’s debatable. Jigsaw is up to his usual tricks in the latest edition of the ‘Saw’ series where he gets people to play what he likes to call ‘games.’ These are not the usual games of let’s say monopoly, or Parcheesi, instead he likes to play games with people’s lives. Jigsaw puts people who for one reason or another do something that shows that take life for granted and puts them through a series of tests to see how much he or she is willing to do to save his or her own life.

In this installment of the annual horror series, Jigsaw has his assistant Amanda, whom was ‘saved’ by Jigsaw and has gained a new found respect for life. Jigsaw and his apprentice put a husband and wife through a series of games to test each of their wills to live. Amanda kidnaps a doctor to take care of the ailing Jigsaw while the doctor’s wife, Jeff, is put through a series of tests of forgiveness since his son was killed when he was ran over by a clueless driver. 

Little did they know, they would be testing their will to live. Jeff is put through a series of tests to forgive the people who were involved in the death of his son. Little did he know, his final test was to forgive Jigsaw. The final scene shows the meeting of Amanda, Jigsaw, and the husband and wife in a final scene that will blow your mind.
